No joy yet.
I generated keys on the linux side:
> ssh-keygen -t dsa
Copied the public key to "authorized_keys" in ~/.ssh
Copied the private key by sneaker-net to the Windows machine.
There, I specified the latter (key file) in the field "Use RSA/DSA key
for ssh connection".
Then tried connecting - can't do it (tries quite a while, then times out).
I did try both with and without the box "Try auto login" checked;
doesn't work either way.
Left the last 2 boxes unchecked.

OK, indeed it will not work without authentication.
Would like to try the public/private key route. I've done this for
ssh agents between linux machines, using ssh-keygen to obtain the
keys. Not clear how to do so w/X2GO client running under Windows.
Can you provide some instructions?
If you have access to a Linux machine, just run ssh-keygen there with
the usual parameters, copy the private key file over to the Windows
machine, and specify it in the session settings (there's a field where
you can specify the path to an RSA/DSA key). On the Linux box, add
the public key to the authorized_keys file of the user account you're
trying to log in as, and you should be all set.
If you want to create your key pair on Windows, you will need to use
either ssh-keygen from a cygwin install, or PuttyGen.exe from the
PuTTY tool suite - for the latter, you will need to use the "export"
function of PuttyGen's GUI to save the private key, as PuTTY's own
*.ppk key storage files are incompatible with standard ssh.
